“Industrial energy efficiency is essential for strengthening economies, protecting ecosystems and achieving social benefits,” according to UNIDO Director-General Kandeh K. Yumkella. The UN Report launched urges investment in energy-efficient technologies to help achieve sustainable growth and tackle a host of global challenges. Sustainable energy production is also essential to overcome the major challenges the world faces today, according to the report, which was launched at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. “A world that has just reached a population of seven billion must take into account industrial energy efficiency if it wants to address such challenges as green growth, employment generation, security, climate change, food production and poverty reduction,” Read: -“International Year for Sustainable Energy Kicks Off” -- diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/blog_post/international-year-for-sustainable-energy-kicks-off-by-ambassador-mo/43625. The publication, entitled "Industrial energy efficiency for sustainable wealth creation: capturing environmental, economic and social dividends", stresses that sustainable energy production is essential to overcome the major challenges the world faces today. "Improving industrial energy efficiency is key to sustainable industrial development worldwide but especially in the rapidly developing countries of the Global South. It will help realize the global green economy and green industries. Investing in energy-efficient technologies, systems, processes, training and upgrading of skills must underpin low-carbon green growth," said Mr. Yumkella. Increasing Incomes – Growing Energy Consumption: The UNIDO report has a special focus on developing countries, backed by a set of unique statistics on Manufacturing Value Added (MVA), manufacturing export trends, and other key indicators. According to UNIDO Statement: “The UNIDO report states that energy consumption could grow even faster as developing countries reduce the income gap and grapple with growing populations demanding more manufactured products. This makes it imperative to remove barriers that currently impede energy efficiency investments.” Read: -Environment Emergencies Ahead of Rio+20" - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/blog_post/environment-emergencies-ahead-of-rio20-by-ambassador-mo/39348 UNIDO D-G Yumkella also said that the new report was UNIDO's main contribution to the Sustainable Energy for All initiative launched by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The initiative aims to achieve by 2030 three inter-linked global targets: universal access to modern energy services; the doubling of energy efficiency; and the doubling of the share of renewable energy in the world's energy supply.
